this is great!
http://www.kirktoons.com/busheviks/busheviks.html
in 1992 or thereabouts, a liberal columnist for the NATION (either
Alterman or Corn) wrote a column of all the sneaky ways that incoming
President Clinton could institute a liberal agenda via executive order
and other ways that did not rely on Congress and the courts (assuming,
of course, that Clinton was in some ways a New Deal liberal or some
sort of 1960s liberal). I think this is what the Bush League did,
except of course their ideology is more like that of Pres. William
McKinley. In addition, the BL is organized as more of a "Leninist"
party with a seemingly greater willingness to break the law than
Clinton had. So the word "Bushevik" seems appropriate.
(Lenin's pre-1917 party was hardly "Leninist" or "Bolshevik" in the
contemporary sense of these words.)
